When, (some) cyclists afford the same courtesy to to others that they demand then they will, mostly, be treated fairly.

I have yet to see one ride at a safe speed past me and my dog on the Bayswater shared path. Most are in a certain age range...almost all of them are male and every one of them is an arrogant prick.. ask them to slow down they give a mouthful of abuse and keep peddling...just as well probably...I dont fancy facing court for kicking one of them in the nuts.

So I am not in favour of giving them any more legal rights as they dont give a fuck about mine.

Get stuffed (nicely).

If a motorist tells you to slow down on your motorbike, would you? When we're out on PSB LNRs or whatever and local residents tell us to fuck off and not come down their road ever again, would you?

You have no legal right to ask them to slow down on a shared path. They have no legal obligation to do so. And your comments make the issues facing riders all the more apparent - not welcome on footpaths, shared paths, or the road!

I look great in lycra - no beer gut and the outline it gives my huge shaft is pretty ace

Sad that this had to be brought in, there's quite a few roads around Perth that passing safely is going to be a pain in the arse.

Patience and courtesy are going to be required. If some good comes out of it and drivers in Perth learn better driving habits then all fine well and good.

That having been said, with a straight face and no sarcasm - trust me it was hard, I can't see how it's going to work, enforcing it is going to be a nightmare, if a cop pings someone for less than a metre, hopefully the the offending driver doesn't roll over and take the fine and points up the arse, but takes it to court and their lawyer will have a field day with the cop who wrote the ticket, first question to the cop will be "How did you measure the distance?"

I read there is an exemption that allows cyclists to overtake on the left. They don't have to comply with the 1 metre minimum separation within the lane. A consequence is that they wont be "behind" the vehicle (requiring a 2 metre separation) but beside it.

So yes, it is legal for them to come up to traffic lights on the left in front of all the traffic they held up trying to pass them further back.

It is legal for them to take off and block. Own the lane. Give the collective finger to the cagers.

The upside is more laughs watching the meltdowns from drivers that can't handle having to wait.

so at the moment on indian ocean drive the main problem is people not waiting for old gramps in his subaru forrester towing the 4.5T caravan doing 85 in the 110 zone for a safe passing spot.
causing all sorts of line ups and frustrating leading to overtaking on hills and corners with two big white lines down the centre.

these meltdowns are directly causing deaths. and this cyclist laws are now creating a mini indian ocean drive conundrum in the whole metro area.

so much for the upside huh?
